Is Vector the Right Fit for You?
SELF
"The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action."
Who you are is critical to how you experience the world. We are interested in and care very much about your process toward self-awareness. Your willingness to metacognitively challenge, explore, and reflect on your experiences, relationships, knowledge, and goals is the best way we know to support your journey in your sense of self. If an adventure in self-discovery is part of what “school” means to you, you have found a place we call home.
COMMUNITY
"One has to assimilate, imaginatively, something of another's experience in order to tell him intelligently of one's own experience."
Part of an exploration into a sense of self can only occur in direct relationship with a community – we define ourselves by those elements we recognize and resonate with as much as those we find we don’t identify with or understand as well. At the same time, constructing learning and knowledge is a collaborative process. The more perspectives we can engage, the deeper we can explore other new or alternate ways of thinking about what learning is. We invite you to join a community where taking risks is met with curiosity rather than judgement.
WORLD
"There's all the difference in the world between having something to say and having to say something."
As the safety and support of the community allow us each to grow into a continued sense of self and a connected sense of family, we begin to engage the broader world as agents of change. What might be possible with this mindset is almost limitless as we challenge one another to find ways to have impact on systems of knowing, ways of moving and being, and processes of deconstructing power, privilege, and difference.
